[Antimony, our young, teenage British school girl heroine, stands quite calmly on the Plane and well, she's used to announcing herself at nothing given her friends, so she speaks. Her words are British and Victorian clear and crisp. She's really not bothered.]

Hello. This is not what I expected a shop to contain. I have already passed by a plant which tried to tempt me to become a small meal. If that is my purpose here, I'm afraid I'll have to decline.

[A pause.] An exit would be appreciated.

You can hardly blame a plant for wanting to taste something as sweet as you, Princess.

But I'm afraid at the moment there is no exit.

[Nathan of the Self-Appointed Welcoming Committee is still going to try to do his duty. Of being him.]

There is no exit, little girl. It, uh, it's sort of... blocked.

[Yes. Just so you know, Nathan totally wants a popsicle.]

[neverindanger.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry but you're mistaken. I'm not a princess. I'm a student. I doubt a princess would taste any different than anyone else.

[Oh wait-] But if there's an entrance, there must be an exit.

[neverindanger.livejournal.com]

[Wow you are huge. Like really huge. Like...gods of death huge.

Antimony tips her head back to stare up.]

Blocked by what? Perhaps we could move it.

[onehundredbeers]

[Indeed, Nathan is gigantic. HUGE FOREVER!!!!]

Uh, someone like... locked us in here. We can't go home until, uh, no idea.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[so she's the logical, deadpan sort]

I am? Ah, well, if you say so, it must be right. After all, someone with eyes as deep and true as yours must have a heart that matches.

[he sighs, still smiling as if it's no big deal] Usually there is an exit, but it seems to be out of service at the moment. A simple technical difficulty that I'm sure will be cleared up soon enough.

[Sebastian, who is in the forest, looks out at her]

You sound almost like you're from the same time as Charles and I.

[Also, teddy bear, yes.]

[neverindanger.livejournal.com]

[She looks at the teddy bear - dawww - and then walks closer.]

Perhaps I am. Do you know of Gunnerkrigg Court? [Oh no her manners.] My name is Antimony Carver.

[neverindanger.livejournal.com]

[She has....no idea what he means about her eyes and heart being deep. She knows through biology they aren't.]

Oh, I see. Will someone be by soon to repair it? I am a fair hand to help but Kat would be better to ask for true assistance.

[It's like looking up a skyscraper.]

I can pick locks if you'll show me the door.

[onehundredbeers]

There isn't a door.

[neverindanger.livejournal.com]

I thought a door had been here. Strange. Then we are all trapped?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

[And while she's practical and deadpan and oblivious about certain things, Tamaki realizes this isn't Haruhi, as Antimony is far too motivated]

I'm sure. There are lots of capable people here. It sounds like a lot of it is down to choices, but I'm not sure how that works. I haven't been asked to make any yet.

But I have to say I'm hurt. You'll tell me your friend's name, but I haven't had the chance to hear yours yet. Or should I just go back to calling you princess?

[onehundredbeers]

Uh, yeah. I kind of, uh, said there was no exit. Normally, um, you could just think and leave. But... we're stuck.

[neverindanger.livejournal.com]

Forgive me. My name is Antimony Carver. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[neverindanger.livejournal.com]

How long have you been here like this?

[onehundredbeers]

[He pulls his phone from his pocket. How he keeps it charged is a mystery for the ages.]

According to my phone... like 20 days.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

I'm Suou Tamaki, and the pleasure is all mine, Antimony Carver. Such a unique and lovely name that is only outshined by the girl herself.

But I'm afraid I'm just not sure how quickly forgiveness can come. My heart is very wounded after all

Ah, but a smile might make it heal much faster.

[neverindanger.livejournal.com]

[....Confusing.]

Thank you. How will a smile help?

[neverindanger.livejournal.com]

How have you managed to survive?

[onehundredbeers]

One: I totally know how to make sandwiches.
Two: I can, uh, fight... stuff.
Three: Uhhhh... I just did.


[Yep.]

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

A smile always helps. There's no how about it.

[neverindanger.livejournal.com]

I see. [Well, a smile never hurt.] Do you prefer an honorific or first or last name? I know a little Japanese.

[neverindanger.livejournal.com]

Those do sound like useful skills. I can't make sandwiches.

[onehundredbeers]

Oh man. Sandwiches are easy to make! You get, uh, two pieces of bread. You put stuff between them. Bam. Sandwich.
